Part V — Assessment Roll
Parcel identification, for each lot or parcel within the District, shall be the parcel as shown on the Kern County Assessor's map for the year in which this Report is prepared.
Non-assessable lots or parcels may include areas of public streets and other roadways (typically not assigned an APN by the County); dedicated public easements, open space areas and rights-of-ways including public greenbelts and parkways; utility rights-of-ways; common areas; landlocked parcels, small parcels vacated by the County, bifurcated lots, and any other property that cannot be developed. These types of parcels are considered to receive little or no benefit from the improvements and are therefore exempted from assessment. Properties outside the District’ boundary receive no direct or special benefits from the improvements provided by the District and are not assessed.
Parcel identification, for each lot or parcel within the District, shall be the parcel as shown on the Kern County Assessor's map for the year in which this Report is prepared. The land use classification for each parcel is based on the Kern County Assessor’s Roll. A listing of parcels assessed within the District, along with the proposed assessment amounts, shall be submitted to the City Clerk, under a separate cover, and by reference is made part of this Report.
Approval of this Report (as submitted or as modified) confirms the method of apportionment and the maximum assessment rate to be levied against each eligible parcel and thereby constitutes the approved levy and collection of assessments for the fiscal year. The parcels and the amount of assessment to be levied shall be submitted to the County Auditor/Controller and included on the property tax roll for the fiscal year.
If any parcel submitted for collection is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, a corrected parcel number and/or new parcel numbers will be identified and resubmitted to the County Auditor/Controller. The assessment amount to be levied and collected for the resubmitted parcel or parcels shall be based on the method of apportionment and assessment rate approved in this Report. Therefore, if a single parcel has changed to multiple parcels, the assessment amount applied to each of the new parcels shall be recalculated and applied according to the approved method of apportionment and assessment rate rather than a proportionate share of the original assessment.
